Patenga Sea Beach Chittagong
Patenga is a popular tourist spot. The beach
is very close to the Bangladesh Naval Academy of the Bangladesh Navy and Shah
Amanat International Airport. Its width is narrow and swimming in
the seas is not recommended. Part of the seashore is built-up with concrete
walls, and large blocks of stones have been laid to prevent erosion. During the
1990s, a host of restaurants and kiosks sprouted out around the beach area.
Lighting of the area has enhanced the security aspect of visiting at night.
Nowadays, alcohol peddling is very common at
the beach. Vendors from the city sell their ice creams, cold drinks and food to
the hundreds of tourists who come to Patenga Beach. According to the local
people, Patenga is the best place for delicious, mouth-watering street food at
very low costs. One of the popular dishes of the food stands is the fried,
spicy mud crab served with a small plate full of falafel, garnished with cucumber and onion.
